H.R. 10144 — Pesticide Harm Accountability Act

This section states findings that the Environmental Protection Agency registers nearly 65 percent of pesticides through conditional registrations without full safety data, permits continued sales of canceled or suspended products, relies on emergency exemptions for years without comprehensive review, and cannot require disclosure of inactive ingredients that may include carcinogens. It notes the June 25, 2026, Supreme Court decision in Monsanto Co. v. Durnell holding that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempts state tort claims for failure to warn.

This section permits states to require warnings on pesticides or devices under state tort law and preserves related tort claims against manufacturers for labeling or packaging. It prevents federal misbranding and uniformity provisions from being construed to block such state requirements.

This section directs the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator to submit a report within 180 days of enactment to the House Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The report must identify any regulations, guidance documents, or interpretive statements that limit state tort law claims on pesticide or device labeling or packaging under section 24(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, and describe steps taken to bring them into compliance.

This section provides that if any provision of the Act or an amendment made by the Act is held invalid, the remaining provisions and their application to any person or circumstance remain in effect.
